You can abort (almost) all command sequences within nn with '^g' (= control-g).

Other programs used in conjunction with nn (editor or shell) might use
other controls to be stopped/killed.  Maybe ^c worked for you by chance.
Please bear in mind that all programs might or might not react to what you do.
It's all in the hands of the programmers.  (And maybe His hands, too. :)
